In advance, sorry for giant wall of text.

Just witnessed some gun violence and am pretty pissed about it so heres the story.

So im at my friendly neighborhood chipotle mexican resturant chain today and suddenly a man starts threatening one of the female staff. Its her boyfriend and he's pissed about something. They go outside and he starts beating her up.

Before I have a chance to run out there and defend her, he's run to his car and comes back with a gun. The guy starts pointing it at her. A security guard in the parking lot who doesnt know whats going on and doesnt see him with a gun comes over. The guy threatens the guard. A guard I actually see all the time and say whats up to alot. The guard backs off onces he sees he's got a gun and the gunman threatens the guard that he'll shoot him.

After that he runs away. I dont see whats going on cause im on lock down inside the resturant. I called my wife to tell her I love her while im in lock down. She stays on the phone with me for awhile before the cops come. They start searching the area. Tons and tons of cop cars show up. Helicopters fly over head. Its a fucking man hunt. The cops aparently searched all over the shopping area which spans four or so blocks up a large hilly area.

I later learn the cops shoot the gunman in the movie theather across the way. The gunman aparently shot someone before being caught. Not her girlfriend but someone else in the theater.
Heres a shot I took from afar where the police are surrounding the gunmans car which he abandon.
I didnt choose to talk to the cops but others that saw everything like me did.

The rest is news.

Fuck guns. After all this gun violence in the past 6 months in the U.S. Im fucking sick of it. And to witness this kinda of shit where I could have very well been killed by this rampaging lunatic I am now even more anti-gun then I was before. Thank god for the cops and for detaining this guy right away but for fuck sakes make the gun violence stop altogether.
This is not my first time witnessing gun violence, but I want it to be the last.

I'm more anti-crazy-people-who-have-access-to-weapons, but it really sucks to hear that happen to you Axm.

Glad nothing happened to you and I hope that innocent bystander who got shot at will be alright. And I hope that fucking nutter-butter was shot dead. We need less of those people in the gene pool.

The only reason anyone is ok is because a policeman shot him with a police gun using a special police bullet. So, you're not anti-gun. You're just anti-notpolice having them. So, now you have to explain why a cop won't ever go insane and attack his girlfriend at a Chipolte Mexican Grill.

Programming?

America has always had guns. But everything seems so much... crazier compared to when I was a kid. What the hell happened?

There have and always will be crazy people. The news are just reporting on this stuff more at the moment so the world seems crazier then normal at the moment.

Titans are my team but they are a joke of a franchise. Also was rooting for Seahawks because they are often good and get little respect. Got to root for the underdog. ...erm plus I might migrate and make them a second team.

I was hoping for the Seahawks to win so the Niners could avenge that crushing loss the Seahawks delivered a few weeks ago.

We'll see how my Niners do against AG's Falcons next week.
